Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedThe invention claimed is:
1. A method for treating lung adenocarcinoma, comprising the step of:
administering a eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6) small interfering RNA (siRNA) to a patient having lung adenocarcinoma, wherein the eIF6 siRNA comprises SEQ ID NO:5 or 6.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the eIF6 siRNA comprises SEQ ID NO:5.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the eIF6 siRNA comprises SEQ ID NO:6.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the eIF6 siRNA consists of SEQ ID NO:5.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the eIF6 siRNA consists of SEQ ID NO:6.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the eIF6 siRNA is administered by intravenous, intramuscular, intrathecal, subcutaneous, transdermal or aerosol administration.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
